I don't think the dev would leave the top left without a mine until one is moved there, as that would always be a safe square to click first. So if the probability of finding a min…

The termites built a heat sink for their colony! That's crazy.

My daughters have for years enjoyed dropping their plastic straws into their Jarritos bottle where it sits out of reach until the bubbles magically bring it back up.

My algorithms class taught to think of it not as "describing performance" in an absolute sense, but as "describing how performance changes as the size of the input data increases".…

I think they're probably talking about something closer to lean startup methodology.

I work in a hospital system. The OR is only doing emergency cases today; ambulatory clinics are closed; everything is being done on paper; response communication is via email and p…

This is a great point, and perhaps we do need a new popular license or set of variants that exclude certain industries. "MIT-Peaceful" perhaps. I know very many people who would re…

Have you read Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies and the Cosmic Game by Andrew R. Gallimore [0], and do you have any thoughts on his cosmology vis a vis cellul…

Bevy but not Godot?

The lesson is that "should have been fired" was believed by the people who had power on paper; "should not have been fired" was believed by the people actually had power.

I think this critique would only be fair if we more completely understood how we ourselves work under the hood. The "fancy math" is a bunch of non-linear functions that encode some…

I can't read. :)

It's been a hot minute since I've done work in this ecosystem, but I am not sure it is accurate to say that Storyboards do not support Auto Layout. I used to build iOS apps with St…

For all the men reading this, you should know that women discuss this as a tactic men take regarding housework, cooking, childcare, emotional labor, or any other traditional "women…

My 9 year old daughter told me last week that Uranus had rings, and I told her I really didn't think so, are you thinking of Saturn? And she said nope, they both do. What a weird b…

I think there's a lot of value for classic server-side web applications rather than SPAs. That handles routing, state, etc. I'm personally a fan and hope that the server-based appl…
